'''Shulk''' (シュルク ''Shuruku'') is the main protagonist of ''[[wikipedia:Xenoblade Chronicles|Xenoblade Chronicles]]'' appearing as a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U]]''. He was officially confirmed on August 29th, 2014, during a Nintendo 3DS Direct. Shulk wields the Monado, an ancient sword that gives him various special abilities. His moveset revolves around the sword, attacking with beams that come from it and using its arts to power himself up; he can also use it to see the future. His special moves are [[Monado Arts]], a series of Auras that give Shulk stat boosts, [[Back Slash]], a leaping slash that deals extra damage if it hits an enemy's rear, [[Air Slash]], which lets Shulk rise into the air as he slashes upward, and [[Vision (move)|Vision]], a counter that negates all damage and deals increased damage in return. His [[Final Smash]] is [[Chain Attack]], where he calls on [[Riki]] and Dunban to help him beat up his opponent.

==Profiles and statistics==
===''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U''===
====Palutena's Guidance====
*'''[[Pit]]''': I don't think I've seen that guy around.
*'''[[Palutena]]''': That's Shulk. He's 18 years old and clocks in at 5 feet 6 inches.
*'''Pit''': That's a pretty fancy sword he's got.
*'''Palutena''': That's the Monado, the sword that defeated the Mechonis.
*'''Pit''': Makes us look like a buncha jokers.
*'''Palutena''': The Monado can change Shulk's strengths and weaknesses. For example, it might increase his jumping ability while decreasing his defense.
*'''Pit''': So for every strength he gains, he also gains a weakness.
*'''Palutena''': Yes, and Shulk can KO opponents easier when they've sustained more damage. But if you know his weakness, he's not too difficult to deal with.
*'''Pit''': Let's not lose our heads, though!
